Hello there,
I have written a test application that reads a file name from a database, creates a
new File reference with the name read (e.g. File file = new
File(rs.getString("filename"); ) and then tries to delete it. The problem is that
every time I am using the
file.delete() method always returns false and cannot delete the file. I am sure that
the file exists because when I am doing file.getAbsolutePath() it returns the correct
path name. I have tried to catch any exception while trying to delete the file but
with no luck. I have checked the folder and it is not read-only. I have edited the
tomcat.policy file and set all permisions to my webapps folder to
java.io.FilePermission "read, write, delete" but this does not seem to solve the
problem. I am really
stuck and I would really appreciate any help I could get. I have to tell you here that
I am not running any SecurityManager.
I am using JDK1.4, with Tomcat 3.2.3 under Windows 2000.
Thank you for any help
Panos
